I use VMWare, at least 5 GB of RAM, 80 GB of HD space and I make sure to not use Safari in the VM as it is a memory pig and use it only on my regular session.
You just double click on a VM to start it up. Keeps everything compartmentalized.

What I do is have several VMs available as default configured versions of the OS as I like them (with all the animations off, sudden termination off, sheets accelerated, etc…) and then I dup the VM for the version of the OS I need, and then install the desired version of Xcode in that.
